Serious plant pests can be introduced into our parks by campers who bring in firewood. To prevent this, many of our parks sell firewood. For campers who choose to bring in their own firewood, please use wood harvested from a source local to the park. Campers should
not bring firewood from outside of North Carolina.

Please note that the temperatures and weather patterns can change dramatically and quickly on Grandfather Mountain. Trails may be ice and snow covered. If hiking or camping, please take several layers of clothing and plenty of water and use caution on slippery rocks.
Black Bears are active in the park and surrounding area. If you see a bear, make noise to alert it to your presence but do not approach it. Pets should be leashed at all times. Notify park staff of bear sightings.
